Lip lesion remedy: Following an illness, some people may get ulcers or sores in or around their mouth. Your symptoms sound like you may have a herpetic lesion. The virus lasts about 11 days and can be treated topically with OTC creams. A pharmacist can help you with that selection. Also, you can see your dentist or MD and get a Rx for acyclovir tablets which will speed up the healing process.
